Pricing / Videography
Event Videography Pricing
Event video pricing depends on what the final output is, not just how long the event runs. A two-minute highlight reel and a commercial brand video shot at the same event are two very different products with very different production requirements.

What affects cost
- —Output type — a highlight reel and a commercial video require different crew, equipment, and post-production time
- —Crew size — single videographer vs. a full production crew changes cost significantly
- —Live streaming — a separate discipline from event documentation; adds equipment and technical staff
- —Turnaround — standard is 7 business days; same-day and rush delivery require an editor on-site or prioritised post-production
- —Music licensing — stock music is included in all packages; custom compositions or branded audio are quoted separately
- —Drone — requires a licensed operator and weather-appropriate conditions; not always possible on the event day

Event documentation captures what happened — the speeches, the awards, the atmosphere. Commercial production creates a planned asset — a scripted ad, a brand video, a recruitment piece — that happens to be filmed at or around the event. The crew, the shot list, and the post-production process are fundamentally different. If you are not sure which you need, describe what you plan to do with the video and we will tell you.
